When Jane's husband disembarks from a passenger train immediately after their wedding and disappears without a trace, troubling questions are raised. How could his face, mangled beyond recognition in a plane crash during the war, have healed without any scarring? And what unspeakable acts took place on the alligator-ridden bayou plantation he left as an address? Wonderfully haunted, The Alligator People explores the mystery with skillful pacing, generally decent dialogue, and only intermittently laughable special effects. Miscegenation, anxiety over radiation and atomic science, homoeroticism, distrust of doctors and medicine, fear of the American South--all the major cultural obsessions of the late '50s are either tacitly or explicitly represented here; perhaps that's why the far-fetched scientific premise that underlies the plot makes a weird resonance despite its utter implausibility. The ubiquitous Lon Chaney is on hand, and his performance as a drunken swamp rat with a penchant for violence is a hoot; but the real star of the show is Beverly Garland, whose inspired lead, alternately detached and histrionic, decidedly puts to rest the myth of the inelasticity of early sci-fi and horror performers. A winner. --Miles Bethany

This was my first time to purchase an item from Amazon,and I found them to have excellent customer service. I received the product sooner than I had expected and the way it was packaged for shipment prevented the product from getting damaged. Reasonable prices and great service - what more can you ask for!
If you are a 1950's horror movie buff, The Alligator People is a great flick.

This old movie is fun! It was made in 1959 as a serious horror movie, but in 2009, I found myself laughing through most of the film. In the opening scene, a doctor, Who I swear is Richard Nixon, uses hypnosis on a woman to uncover an incredible story. A young woman goes in search of her husband to find herself in a near empty town. She decides to take a seat on top of a large box with warning signs written all over it, caution and radioactive material inside. Soon a man, who has a hook for ... Read More

Alligator People is a good example of a 50s-era horror movie with some clear "B-movie" limitations, but is nevertheless a fun flick.
The plot involves a newlywed's search for her husband after his mysterious disappearance. After some clever sleuthing, she tracks him down to a grand old house deep in the Louisiana swamps. Unbeknowst to her, the husband has been suffering from some peculiar side effects from an experimental treatment he received for a catastrophic injury. For a clue ... Read More

The very good last third of this film and an outstanding ending made this movie worthwhile to watch. One has to be patient in some of these classic films, as many of them begin rather slowly.....but there is a reward if you stick with it.
This story is told in flashback as a woman "Joyce Weber," played by Beverly Garland) is given an injection and relates to two doctors the amazing story of what happened to her and her missing husband.
The title of the film is a bit ... Read More

On her wedding night, a woman's husband abandons her. She goes out on a search for him and finds herself in the bayou. Once there she finds hubby, but he's not the man he used to be.....HE'S ONE OF THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE!! Seems a scientist has found a new miracle cure for folks who have suffered severe physical trauma. It takes that old fact of a lizard growing back it's tail after losing it, and tries to apply it humans. By injecting folks with Hydrocortisone from alligators, they can reconstruct ... Read More
